You should if you get a chance, it's pretty good. Really hard to find to rent though, it's only on Stars (I think); otherwise you have to buy it outright.

And you're also implying that Batman is delusional and Superman isn't actually a creature from another planet, and that Batman is exaggerating the threat Superman potentially poses. Batman is an antagonist.

I've rented it from the library a couple of times but still haven't gotten around to watching it. Guy Ritchie is not a filmmaker who generally fills me with confidence, but it looked fun.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:finding three pics of him doing the Mona Lisa smile doesn't really support your claim as much as you think it does That's pulling from the stuff I had on-hand, which is mostly based around the action scenes. He's more expressive in the more dramatic scenes, but I won't bother with digging into those for caps when those pics are enough to show that the character obviously feels affection for people. I won't disagree that Cavill's not as overwhelmingly charming in BvS as he in Man from UNCLE, but the movie doesn't call for that. cvnvcnv posted:But he is not delusional as a war criminals is. He felt helpless to stop an event which caused an incredible number of deaths and Superman had a direct hand in which allowed him to be made a force of opposition while still otherwise being a hero. His ideology is that such an event cannot occur again, that merely wanting to believe in good isn't enough in the face of actual godlike powers. This is what permits the villain to pit two heroes against each other, one framed but innocent and the other pure of motivation but to the point of betraying himself and the larger mission. That is the narrative. To say the story is that a villain pitted a hero and a different villain against each other, the entire movie collapses. But whatever, I get the sense there's semantics at play here. Even if Batman wasn't trying to kill Superman out of irrational terror, he's torturing people and marking them for death. He's a villain.

I'm not disputing that the man is capable of smiling, it's just funny that those three pics are the ones posted to back up how expressive a face he has.

In other news, Collider is reporting that the Venom standalone film is not only intended to kickstart Sony's own cinematic universe but that it will be R-ratedquote:However, there’s also the previously announced Venom standalone film and its recently confirmed release date of October 5, 2018. Scripted by Dante Harper (Alien: Covenant) and produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, we’re hearing that Sony is developing Venom not only as the film to launch their own Marvel Universe, but as an R-rated effort. http://collider.com/venom-movie-rating-r/?utm_campaign=collidersocial&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social#sony-marvel-universe

I'd like Batman to proclaim in JL he was a gun addict who quit guns and is sober now but Goddamnit invading aliens pulled him back in. Also Snyder putting in a Lego Batman vehicle is awesome

That's what their cinematic universe is going to be. They had a Sinister Six, Spider-Man, Venom, and Aunt May (as a WWII super spy) movie release schedule planned originally. Not sure what the plan is now.

I could do with a Aunt May femme fatale spy under cover who has work her way up to assassinate Hitler as long as it still has Marisa Tomei. What awesome casting. As long as it is an actual R rated drama directed by Fincher and character sudy

There was a whole series in the 90's where Brock has basically "tamed" his symbiote by having the malicious part of it removed (somehow) and they clone the evil symbiote to create an army of male and female Venom children (there's like 8 or 9 total) and Venom wants to stop the symbiote from being abused, reabsorb the rogue elements, and become whole again. But when he reabsorbs the pieces he becomes more and more malicious. He had another series where he is basically a secret agent.

They tossed out that whole plan when Amazing Spider-Man 2 under-performed critically (that's when they went crawling back to Marvel). I'd guess the reason they're dipping their feet in the water again with Venom is because they're taking the wrong lesson from Deadpool and Logan and thinking, "R-rated comic movie = ALL THE BUCKS!"

It's not a total oxymoron to have a movie that is both a cinematic universe starter and also rated-R but it just reeks of "the other guys were successful with this so let's do it!"

I mean, the core idea of "violent alien crash lands on Earth and creates a symbiosis with a human who must struggle with his post-symbiotic dual identities" is a story that could easily carry itself, connection to the Spider-verse or no. They just need to find the right story for it (spoiler: they won't) and run with the core concept, not worrying about continuity or canon. My pitch would be that Carnage crash lands on Earth pursued by Venom, and they play out an interpersonal interstellar rivalry using human beings as their weapons of choice.hiddenriverninja posted:Flash Venom is pretty great, and better than Eddie "Lethal Protector" Brock Would be very, legitimately amazing if they went with Flash and there was a $100m+ R-rated blockbuster comic book action film starring Tony Revolori as Venom. They'll do something dumb with a big beefy white dude instead. But still.

I'd guess the reason they're dipping their feet in the water again with Venom is because they're taking the wrong lesson from Deadpool and Logan and thinking, "R-rated comic movie = ALL THE BUCKS!" If they do something like i the comics leading up to the Lethal Protector storyline in the 90s it could honestly be pretty funny. Venom just trying to be a reporter and it's not like he WANTS to eat people's brains but for some reasons the criminals he keeps doing a super lovely job investigating try to intimidate him or beat him up? I mean what else can he do? Totally not his fault at all. I'm sure you're right and that Sony just sees the R rated Fox movies making money and wants to follow suit, but there were a lot of comics with Venom that honestly were pretty funny in this absurd authoritarian 2000 AD way that you could do something cool with. Sucks Sony won't actually tap into that. Like Venom would have been best in the hands of 80s Frank Henenlotter. Neo Rasa fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Mar 27, 2017 |
